Remove PHP assert() function from list of forbidden functions

[oleksii-lisovyi]

Description

AFAIK starting from PHP 8.0 the main security issue of assert() function implementation is removed. Thus given the minimum PHP requirement version for the Coding Standards is 8.1 the function should be removed from the list of the forbidden functions.

Expected behavior

No error The use of function assert() is forbidden is shown when checking the standards on Magento code.

Benefits

The function usage is allowed which provides reducing of boilerplate in code base.

Additional information

I'm not a security expert, so I might be wrong on the topic.
